When Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale will rejoin Arsenal squad after England World Cup exit

Arsenal and England duo Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale will rejoin Mikel Arteta's squad by the end of the week, football.london understands.

The pair have been away together for the past four weeks with the Three Lions' World Cup squad but will return to the Gunners in a few days following England's unfortunate exit at the hands of France on Saturday.

It's not yet clear as to whether they will link-up with the rest of the team in Dubai or rejoin the squad upon their return to England.

Although Ramsdale didn't play any part in the tournament, Saka was a key player for Gareth Southgate as he started four of the five games the Three Lions played. With three goals and a handful of great performances - including the quarter-final defeat to France - he justified that selection.

The two were originally joined by Ben White in Qatar, but the 25-year-old returned home at the end of last month, with England citing 'personal reasons' as the cause. Some reports suggested that White's premature exit stemmed from a fall-out with a key member of the coaching staff in assistant manager, Steve Holland, though Gareth Southgate thought it was prudent not to give 'any form of credibility' to those articles.

White has since joined his teammates in Dubai and is set to play some part in the Gunners' second game of the Dubai Super Cup against AC Milan on Tuesday.
